College Football's 2012 Non-Championship

Although this year is nowhere near the nightmare for the Bowl Championship Series that last year proved to be, it remains true that college football fans have been slighted as always. The bracket below shows the playoff system we could be watching. All 11 conference champions are seeded in a bracket with the next best 5 "at large" teams based on BCS ratings. The only adjustment I've made was moving Georgia up to avoid 1st- and 2nd-round rematches of games played in the regular season. I'm not suggesting that the decisions necessary to reach a "March Madness" type of bracket would be easy. Still, they are possible. If SEC teams, for example, just dropped their annual game against lower division opponents, the football season wouldn't be too long for any of these teams. As for other teams in bowl games, could those match-ups be any worse than they are this year even without a playoff system? Of course, I'm not suggesting that Arkansas State is likely to upset Notre Dame, or that Tulsa or Utah State might advance far into this tournament. As any college basketball fan would attest, though, they have earned the right to play. College Football playoffs, as they should be, for 2012 season
